Singapore

In 2008 Singapore had the honour of hosting the first night-time event in Formula One history. The inaugural Singapore Grand Prix proved a huge hit, staged on a new street circuit, with the city's famous skyline providing a truly spectacular backdrop.

The race was announced in May 2007 following the agreement of a five-year deal between Formula One Management CEO Bernie Ecclestone, Singapore entrepreneur Mr Ong Beng Seng, and the Singapore Tourism Board.

It instantly established itself as one of the most dramatic and atmospheric races on the calendar. The timing of the event also means it can be broadcast at a convenient time for European television audiences as well as thrilling local fans.

Using public roads around the Marina Bay area, the circuit utilises powerful lighting systems to replicate daylight conditions and the most stringent safety protocols ensure driver and spectator safety.

Grandstand seating and hospitality areas lining the track can accommodate more than 80,000 spectators, while a permanent pit area with deluxe paddock facilities is located adjacent to the Singapore Flyer complex.

The event is more than just a motor race. "We envision it to be a national festival, and one that presents many opportunities for participation for everyone, both visitors and Singaporeans alike," said Singapore's Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Mr S Iswaran.

Thanks Duke!

I like this one, usually some good racing despite being a street circuit.

Hoping Hamilton gets back to his usual self at this race and last week wasn't the start of another melt down…

No doubt all of the media will be focusing on Kimi and Alonso but I'd like to find out more about the Massa/Brawn/Williams rumours.
 
A proper drivers track and full of challenge for the drivers, so I love it for that reason, even if there isn't much side-by-side action.

Too many pansies tracks now.
 
Yeah I quite like this one as well. The annoying bumpy chicane is gone as well -

I'm glad that daft chicane is gone but the track is still poor from a spectators point of view. I just hope it's not a Redbull front row.
 
Fly out to Bangkok on Wednesday and onto Singapore on Friday lunchtime.

Really looking forward to this, but I know the view of the action won't be anything like we had in China.

In the Stamford Stand, so hoping to see some action at the end of the DRS straight!
 
Woohoo - I love this track for the spectacle. Desperately hoping to be able to go next year now that there's no New Jersey on the calendar.
 
Woooooooohooooooooooo Formula 1 Weekend. Love this Race :D

Right, now to try and decide on what Singapore cuisine to cook this weekend :) Any ideas welcome !

Thanks Duke :)
